Elastin‐Specific Autoimmunity in Smokers With Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection is Independent of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and dissection (TAD) are characterized by progressive disorganization of the aortic wall matrix, including elastin, a highly immunogenic molecule.

Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold with Seamless Electrospun Aligned Nanofiber Conduit and 3D‐Printed Coil Reinforcement

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a new fabrication method that overcomes the current limitation of tubular gap electrospinning. We successfully fabricated a seamless hollow tube with fibers aligned along the longitudinal axis in diameters as small as 300 µm, and then reinforced it using 4‐axis 3D printing.

PKCε Increases Extracellular Elastin and Fibulin-5/DANCE in Dermal Fibroblasts

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: In the earlier study, the selective PKCε activator DCP-LA increased elastic fibres in the dermis of HR-1 hairless mice. As a process of elastic fibre formation, tropoelastin, an elastin monomer, is secreted into the extracellular space ...

Elastin as a rubber

Biopolymers, 1977
AbstractThe thermoelastic behavior of water solvated elastin has been investigated in simple tension, in the temperature range 0–70°C. Specimens purified from both the ox ligamentum nuchae and pig thoracic aorta have been studied. Force data obtained by cycling the temperature for various constant specimen lengths display a separated variable ...

Boolean Logic‐Based Control Over Recombinant Protein Biomaterial Degradability and Therapeutic Delivery

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Fully recombinant protein‐based biomaterials execute complex Boolean logic for user‐programmable material degradation and concomitant therapeutic cargo release. Biologics, such as growth factors, can be incorporated within the crosslinkers as “drugamers”, while encapsulated cells can be released according to nested YES/OR/AND‐type logical operations ...

Elastin degradation products in acute lung injury induced by gastric contents aspiration

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Gastric contents aspiration is a high-risk condition for acute lung injury (ALI). Consequences range from subclinical pneumonitis to respiratory failure, depending on the volume of aspirate.
